Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 142: Qingyun Temple, Discussing Taoism
He glanced around, his eyes finally falling on the three smoking incense burners in the corner.

Li Kunshan's eyes turned cold, and he raised his hand and a burst of energy burst out.

Bang~!

The three incense burners shattered, and one of them emitted a cloud of green smoke.

"Humph."

Li Kunshan snorted coldly and then came out of the hot spring.

Just now, he was pulled into an illusion.

If he died in the illusion, he would be doomed forever and would never wake up again. It was extremely dangerous.

What pulled him into the illusion was the burning incense and the hot spring.

There must be medicine mixed in the hot spring. In addition to soothing the body, it can also relax the nerves and reduce Li Kunshan's vigilance. Then he lit incense and took advantage of the opportunity to enter, quietly pulling him into the illusion.

Careless.

Li Kunshan breathed a sigh of relief, but was still a little scared.

The time he was pulled into the illusion was actually not long, but even if it was only a few seconds, if someone took the opportunity to attack him, wouldn't he be dead?

Fortunately, the other party did not do so.

Or, the other party is unable to do so.

“It’s a blessing in disguise.”

Although it was dangerous just now, under the stimulation of the illusion, the Shen Lian that was supposed to take some time to break through actually entered the fourth level in one fell swoop.

At the fourth level of spirit training, the Yin attributes in the primordial spirit are further eliminated, and the Yang attributes account for a larger proportion, making it more resilient and powerful.

As a result, the strength of divine consciousness also increased significantly.

At this moment, the divine consciousness can already condense into a physical entity!

The materialization of divine thoughts is the sign of the fourth level of spiritual training.

"Great!"

Once the divine consciousness is materialized, it can be used directly for attack.

Of course, as spiritual energy, divine consciousness can only attack the primordial spirit and soul, but this is enough.

After all, without a soul, you are just a walking corpse.

However, how to use divine thoughts to attack still needs to be studied.

At this time, Li Kunshan could only simply shape the shape with his spiritual power.

"monster!"

"Help!"

While he was thinking, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the inn, and a large number of guests ran out in panic.

Boom~!

Immediately afterwards, the building in front collapsed, and a head as big as a pavilion was revealed.

"snake."

Li Kunshan looked up and saw a giant snake with a triangular head, a scarlet tongue, and a long dark green body connected to its neck.

No, how could an ordinary snake grow so big? It is clearly a snake demon that has achieved great cultivation!

Li Kunshan's face darkened. It seemed that the one hiding here and making trouble was this snake demon.

"This Taoist priest is quite capable. Even Meng Sixiang can't do anything to him."

The snake demon also looked at Li Kunshan, his cold eyes filled with a hint of fear.

Dream Death Fragrance, this is a terrifying spice that makes people sink into death in their dreams.

Unlike Zuishengjiu, this kind of incense is extremely difficult to prepare. The snake demon only has three of them. It had killed two masters, a Buddha and a Taoist, before. Unexpectedly, the third time, it was ineffective against Li Kunshan.

Looking at Li Kunshan's cold expression, the snake demon sighed secretly again.

Although the Dream Death Fragrance can make people die in their sleep, they cannot be disturbed during the process, otherwise they will wake up immediately.

If not, it would be easy for the snake demon to kill Li Kunshan directly while he was trapped in the illusion.

But then again, it's not that easy to simply charm a master like Li Kunshan.

"Kill you!"

Since drugs don’t work, then just go for it.

Even if you can't win, you have to go ahead, after all, this is that person's order.

The snake demon roared and charged straight towards Li Kunshan with its huge body.

Boom~Boom!
During the operation, a large number of buildings were knocked down.

In a blink of an eye, the snake demon appeared in front of him, opened its bloody mouth and bit Li Kunshan fiercely.

But the next moment, he found that he could not close his mouth. At this time, a giant glazed toad was faintly visible in the giant snake's mouth, which was Li Kunshan's Tiangang Toad Qi.

Sizzle~sizzle~!

Seeing that it failed to break through the Tiangang Qi in one go, the snake demon's pupils shrank slightly. The next moment, poisonous water flowed out of its fangs, which could actually corrode the Tiangang Qi quickly.

After all, Songxi Tai Chi is an inner alchemy foundation-building method and is not very powerful in combat.

Li Kunshan's face darkened, and a talisman sword appeared in his hand. While withdrawing the Tiangang Qi, he swung the sword at the snake demon.

Swish~!

Three sword energies burst out at the same time, each several dozen meters long, slashing directly towards the snake demon,

The snake demon's huge pupils suddenly dilated. It was too late to dodge, and scales suddenly appeared all over its body.

Tsk~!

With a sharp sound, the sword energy slashed on the scales, cutting off a large number of scales, but was eventually redirected and bounced away.

Boom~!

There was another loud bang, and the scattered sword energy instantly destroyed several houses, and dust flew up again.

The originally huge Qingzhu Inn was mostly destroyed in just a few moments.

"This this……"

"Help, I don't want to die."

The crowd that had not yet had time to escape was in the ruins, each with a look of fear on their faces, crying and shouting non-stop.

"Roar~!"

The snake demon roared, and its huge head rushed towards Li Kunshan again, wanting to swallow Li Kunshan in one bite before Li Kunshan could shave off all the scales on its body.

Boom~Boom~!

But at this moment, there was a sudden thunder in the sky.

The snake demon's movements paused for a moment, and it subconsciously looked up into the air. The next moment, its huge snake eyes were filled with fear.

Suddenly, a pillar of lightning fell from the sky, aiming at him!
The snake demon wanted to dodge, but there was no way to hide.

Boom~!

With a loud bang, the lightning column hit the snake demon's head.

Although the snake demon's scales could resist the sword energy, under the power of thunder, they were like paper and instantly charred and melted.

Boom~!

The remaining force of the thunder and lightning was endless, and it directly pierced through the huge head of the snake demon and blasted a big hole in the ground.

[Kill the snake demon and obtain the entry Swallowing Elephant (Purple)! ]

Boom~!

The snake demon was killed with one blow. Its huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang, crushing several houses.

The once prosperous Qingzhu Inn has now completely turned into ruins.

"died?"

"The monster is dead!"

"Who is that person? He's so awesome!"

"God! He must be a living god!"

The crowd, who had just scattered in fear, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the snake demon was slain. Then they looked at Li Kunshan, their eyes wide with curiosity and awe.

Some people wanted to talk, but were afraid to step forward.

"The Bashe swallowed the elephant?"

Li Kunshan ignored it and checked the entry that had just been released.

First, let’s clarify the purple entries, which are not bad.

[Swallowing an Elephant: The Bashe swallows an elephant, and can swallow anything into its stomach in unlimited quantities.]

"This……"

After reading the detailed introduction, Li Kunshan blinked and was speechless.

It can swallow anything, and there is no limit on the amount. It is simply a bottomless pit and is fully worthy of purple quality.

But the key question is, how big is Li Kunshan's mouth?

When it comes to swallowing any object, he must first be able to swallow it. What’s the use if he can’t swallow it!

Even if you swallow small things, the accumulation of them cannot be underestimated, such as water.

If Li Kunshan swallowed the water of a river and spat it out when fighting with someone, it would instantly become a flood.

But with such a small mouth, how long would it take him to swallow a river, and how many years would it take him to spit it out?

"never mind."

After thinking about it, Li Kunshan shook his head and simply ignored this ability.

"There should be."

Immediately afterwards, Li Kunshan walked towards the snake demon's corpse.

Snakes, clams and turtles can all produce pearls. This snake demon has some skills and may also have pearls in its body.

"This should be it."

Li Kunshan walked straight to the snake demon's head, cut open his jaw, and reached in.

“…Got it!” After groping for a moment, his eyes lit up.

Then, he took out a emerald green bead, only the size of a longan.

Although small, the snake demon has been nurtured by its blood and energy for hundreds of years, so it must have some magical powers.

Li Kunshan wiped the blood off his hands, placed the snake bead in his palm and looked at it carefully, his face full of joy.

"Ok?"

At this moment, he felt a sudden tightness behind him and Li Kunshan turned around immediately.

About ten meters away, a pale-faced woman stretched out her claws and was about to pounce on him.

"corpse?"

There is an evil aura on his body, but it is not demonic aura, more like corpse aura.

But this woman didn't look like an ordinary zombie. She looked more like a tired soul living in a rotten body.

No matter what kind of monster it is, it is evil.

Li Kunshan's face darkened and he was about to get rid of him.

Pfft~!

But at this moment, a long sword suddenly pierced through the woman's chest.

The woman looked down, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she died.

"Blessings and blessings are immeasurable."

After calling out a Taoist name, a middle-aged Taoist priest with a slim beard and a dignified appearance, wearing a slim Taoist robe, walked out and bowed to Li Kunshan.

"I am a humble Taoist, I am honored to meet you, Taoist friend."

"Chuchenzi?"

Li Kunshan blinked and looked around.

"Wu Chenzi from Qingyun Temple."

"Do you know me, fellow Daoist?"

"The Taoist's name is well-known, and I have heard of it a long time ago."

Li Kunshan smiled and returned the greeting.

"Li Kunshan, the 36th generation disciple of Maoshan."

"So he's a top disciple of Mount Mao. No wonder he can harness lightning and kill these snake monsters."

After taking a look at the snake demon's corpse, Chu Chenzi's expression became serious. Then he turned to Li Kunshan with an extremely burning gaze.

Qingyun Temple, a Taoist temple in the TV series Wu Xin, is also considered an authentic Taoist temple.

But in this world, Li Kunshan is not sure which Taoist sect Qingyun Temple belongs to. It may be a combination of both.

It is worth mentioning that Yue Qiluo was born in Qingyun Temple. In terms of seniority, she is the great-uncle of the Taoist priest Chuchenzi in front of him.

In the past, Yue Qiluo practiced evil magic and was expelled from Qingyun Temple. Later, she did not repent and was sealed in a well by Chuchenzi's great master, who was also Yue Qiluo's senior brother.

"I didn't expect to see Taoist Master Chuchenzi here."

"To be honest, I've known about this monster for a long time, but I was no match for it."

Chu Chenzi looked ashamed and continued.

"Tonight, I suddenly saw some movement here, so I rushed over. I didn't expect you to be so powerful that you could kill the snake demon with a thunderbolt in your hand."

"It's all thanks to the ancestors, not worth mentioning."

"Fellow Taoist, you are humble."

Chu Chenzi looked excited and said after a pause.

"If you don't mind, you can come and sit in my temple."

"Okay."

Li Kunshan nodded immediately. He also wanted to see the Qingyun Temple.

"Great! Please come this way, fellow Taoist!"

Seeing that Li Kunshan agreed, Chu Chenzi was excited and immediately led the way.

Qingyun Temple is also in the mountains, only twenty miles away from here.

Although the mountain road was difficult to travel on and it was late at night, with their ability, it was no different from a plain road and they arrived in just half an hour.

The Taoist temple is not big, with only Chuchenzi living there. Moreover, both the buildings and furnishings are quite old.

I have to say that the Qingyun Temple in this world is a bit shabby.

It makes sense. With the two giants of Zhengyi and Quanzhen around, the other Taoist sects really have a hard time.

"My humble opinion is simple, I hope you don't mind it."

Chu Chenzi poured Li Kunshan a cup of tea and took out a few snacks that were about to go moldy.

"how come."

Li Kunshan took a sip of tea, then put it down without touching the snack.

It was a bit awkward to just sit there, so Li Kunshan forced himself to find a topic to talk about.

"Just now, that female corpse tried to attack me, but it was thanks to the Taoist priest that she saved me in time."

"With your cultivation level, how could that zombie hurt you? I just did it in vain. Besides, my Qingyun Temple is responsible for the monster in the Qingzhu Inn."

Chu Chenzi wanted to say something but stopped himself and sighed softly.

Is there any hidden secret behind this?
Li Kunshan blinked and quickly gossiped.

"What do you mean, Taoist priest?"

"This... is really embarrassing to talk about! But since you asked, I can't hide it."

Chu Chenzi sighed again and spoke directly.

"The monsters in Qingzhu Inn actually have a master, and their master is named Yue Qiluo!"

"Yue Qiluo?"

Li Kunshan opened his eyes slightly and looked at Chu Chenzi in front of him again.

Seeing Li Kunshan's reaction, Chu Chenzi couldn't help but ask.

"Does fellow Daoist know this person?"

"I don't know, I just think the name sounds nice."

Li Kunshan smiled and asked casually.

"What is the origin of this Yue Qiluo? What kind of magical powers does she have that she can actually subdue such a monster as her subordinate?"

"This is exactly what I find difficult to say! To be honest, in terms of seniority, Yue Qiluo is still my great-uncle."

Then, Chu Chenzi recounted Yue Qiluo's background.

Li Kunshan already knew all this, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. Instead, he looked at Chu Chenzi with interest.

"That's actually the case."

After Chu Chenzi finished speaking, Li Kunshan responded with an exclamation with a look of surprise.

After chatting for a while, it was already very late at night.

Chu Chenzi cleaned up a room for Li Kunshan and let him rest.

Li Kunshan didn't hesitate and stayed there directly.

Who knew that this stay would last four or five days.

"Since you insist on leaving, I won't hide anything anymore!"

There was really no reason to keep Li Kunshan, so Chu Chenzi simply spoke directly.

"I've said before that Yue Qiluo is actually my great-uncle, the Grand Master. As the current head of Qingyun Temple, I've always wanted to get rid of him and clean up the mess!"

"and then?"

"I'm ashamed, fellow Daoist, but my abilities are too low. I can't even defeat the snake demon under her command, so how can I get rid of Yue Qiluo herself?"

"so what."

"So I beg you to help me, my fellow Taoists, to get rid of this evil Yue Qiluo!"

"Ah."

Li Kunshan smiled and shook his head.

"This is your Qingyun Temple's family affair. How can I, Zhengyi, interfere? Besides, Yue Qiluo is not someone who can be easily dealt with."

"You are absolutely right, dealing with Yue Qiluo is extremely dangerous, and I cannot let you take any risks."

Chu Chenzi continued with a serious expression.

"So, I'm not asking you to take action directly, but I hope you can stay for a few more days so we can discuss Taoism. Perhaps I can find a way to re-seal Yue Qiluo."

"Discussing Taoism?"

Li Kunshan opened his eyes slightly, looked at Chenzi again, and pondered in his heart.

Although Chuchenzi's abilities are average, the Taoism of Qingyun Temple is actually quite strong. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a demon like Yue Qiluo.

If he could communicate with Chuchenzi, it would be of great help to Li Kunshan.

Especially, the soul aspect!

"but!"

Although he had already thought about it in his mind, Li Kunshan still spoke.

"Zhengyi's methods must never be revealed to others."

"Of course!"

Chu Chenzi said quickly with a serious expression.

"We are just discussing this. I have absolutely no intention of exploring Zhengyi's methods!"

"That's good. In that case, I'll bother you for a while longer that night."

Li Kunshan smiled and nodded.
